“Rustic house with an authentic french charm in a great location for discovering both coast and mountains”

We had a lovely relaxing week in the house, it has rustic charm but with the benefit of the modern amenities that most of us expect. The location is great for those who like to get a real feel of French life and in a car is easily & equally accessible to the airport in Perpignan, the coast, the Pyrenees and Spain, all great to explore,

We chose this location to be close to The Pyrenees for hiking and for site-seeing in general and we could not have been happier with our choice. The house is wonderfully appointed with everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds, lashings of hot water, great kitchen, washer/dryer, fantastic view over the mountains - great for watching the morning sunrise. The town itself was centrally located for everything we wanted to do and allowed for alpine hiking one day and beaches the next - great area with a very diverse list of possible activities. Couldn't recommend more highly

Traditional small Catalan house in a typical small village. Very well equipped house with large kitchen/living room. Village had 2 restaurants and bakers, grocer etc yet near large towns with hypermarkets. We were by the church and the ramparts. Good base for visiting, Languedoc, Catalonia (in Spain) and the Pyrenees.

This was my third visit to this welcoming house in the centre of Maureillas. I have never stayed in a better equipped house - the owners, Penny and Dominic - seem to have thought of everything.

The view from the sitting room is quite outstanding and I managed to enjoy a lot of the countryside - both towns and villages - by using the one-euro (for 2 hrs) buses. In the evenings I was able to enjoy both English and French TV (thus improving my French!).

New this year was chez Fred - a super restaurant in Ceret - which I highly recommend for both its food and its outstanding welcome, whilst not forgetting the two excellent restaurants in Maureillas only 2 mins' walk from the house.

Must also recommend the village of Vernet-les-Bains, easily reached by car or bus via Perpignan. Weather was perfect throughout my stay and I very much hope to return again next year.
